Montgomery County considers ban on some pesticides

WASHINGTON — Should Montgomery County ban or restrict the use of some pesticides?

That’s the question the County Council committee is debating. But currently Bill 52-15 is still in the information gathering phase. 

On Monday, council members hosted panel experts to explore the environmental impacts of pesticides.  Guests included experts in turf maintenance,  bee keeping and other professions.
